[Input System] Enabling both optimization options of Input System reduces performance in built Players

Package: Input System

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the attached user's project "RootingForYou.zip"
2. Open "ScoreManager.cs"
3. Enable and disable the performance optimizations used in the Awake() method
4. Make sure Development Build and Auto-connect Profiler is enabled
5. Once Built, open the Profiler and observe "PreUpdate.NewInputUpdate" Time ms

Expected results: Enabling both optimization options of Input System increases performance inbuilt Player
Actual Results: Enabling both optimization options of Input System reduces performance inbuilt Players

Reproducible: Input System 1.5.0 - 1.5.1 (2020.3.46f1, 2021.3.21f1, 2022.2.12f1, 2023.1.0b8)
Could not test on 2023.2.0a8 due to an Obsolete Custom package scripting errors

Reproducible on these devices:
VLNQA00415 - Oculus Quest 2 (Quest 2), CPU: Snapdragon XR2, GPU: Adreno 650, OS: 10
VLNQA00275 - Oculus Quest (Quest), CPU: Snapdragon 835 MSM8998, GPU: Adreno 540, OS: 10
N/A, Google Pixel 3 (Pixel 3), Android 12, CPU: Snapdragon 845, GPU: Adreno (TM) 630
VLNQA00413 - Samsung Galaxy Note10+ (SM-N975F), OS: 9, CPU: Exynos 9 Series 9825, GPU: Mali-G76
VLNQA00372 - Galaxy S21 5G (SM-G991U), CPU: Snapdragon 888, GPU: Adreno 660, OS: 11
VLNQA00202 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 USA (SM-N9600), CPU: Snapdragon 845 SDM845, GPU: Adreno 630, OS: 9.0.0
VLNQA00177 - Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (Mi Note 2), OS: 6.0.1, CPU: Snapdragon 820 MSM8996, GPU: Adreno 530
Customer Devices:
Pico 4

Environment: Windows 10 22H2

Notes:
-Optimizations in question:
InputSystem.settings.SetInternalFeatureFlag("USE_OPTIMIZED_CONTROLS", true);
InputSystem.settings.SetInternalFeatureFlag("USE_READ_VALUE_CACHING", true);
-Issue is not exclusive to VR
-When Optimizations are enabled, Time in ms increases to 15-20ms from 5-9ms
-Issue does not reproduce on a non-VR Windows standalone Build

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 1.9.0):

    The issue was partially fixed, as only the `USE_OPTIMIZED_CONTROLS` flag was improved.

    The Control Value Caching optimization path was not improved as it is by design, unfortunately. Only the documentation was updated so that users have more realistic expectations of its impact.

    Fix will be available in upcoming Input System version 1.8.3

    Any update on this? This bug report is almost 6 months old now, it has been under consideration for a long time, and there's been 6 input system updates since that don't address this. My quest game spends 1.3ms per frame on input processing on the main thread, so i'd love to be able to optimize that. However, I get the same 50-100% increase in CPU cost when enabling these flags (unity 2021.3.28)
